Creative Approaches for Learning & Instruction

So many presos …

If all my proposals are accepted I’ll be presenting 6 times between November and June. That doesn’t even include all the little side presos I do here at ISU and the locals schools and organizations.

Am I crazy?

Well maybe, but I’d like to share about the backchanneling study (with Sharon Peters‘), about what over 900 educators from around the world had to say about their use of Web 2.0 tools, and about other skills and info that will help teachers and students. So here’s the schedule:

Now maybe that is a little crazy … 6 different preps … plus I am teaching 3 new classes next semester, that’s 3 preps. Oh, well, I do always like to push the envelope. So the key is to prepare ahead and practice … that’s right, practice. I will be referring to Garr Reynolds’ Presentation Zen and Seth Godin’s Two Elements of a Great Presenter to pick up new info and cue me on what I already know. And practice … yup, there it is again. You know what they say, “Practice makes perfect.” Well … actually … perfect practice makes perfect … something I learned (and said repetitively) during 15 years of coaching volleyball.

So if you are at any of these conferences, please come up and say “Hi” – after all, that’s the biggest part of conferencing: spending time with people.
